*/// connection open to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect(‘hostname’, ‘username’, ‘password’);
mssql_select_db(‘dbname’, $link);// get the query result
$result = mssql_query($query, $link);
$i = 0;// get all columns readed from query
while ($column = mssql_fetch_field ($result)){
$columnx[$i] = $column->name;
$i++;
}
$column = null;// read all rows with its column name
while (($row = mssql_fetch_array($result, MSSQL_BOTH)))
{
echo “\n <new_row>”;
foreach($columnx as $C){
// $C : column name
// $row[$C] : it give the current rows’ column variable
// sample output : <column_name>column_content</column_name>
echo “\n <” . $C . “>” . $row[$C] . “</” . $C . “>”;
}
echo “\n </new_row>”;
}// close the current connection
mssql_free_result($result);
mssql_close($link);
